[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 3056082, member: 29746"] If you mean the one UK dubbed the "blood wight," the Blood-Bone fusion, I was thinking almost exactly the same thing, though my idea was more based on an emulation of the thing at the end of Blade I (the "Blood God" a.k.a. "La Magra"). I won't spoiler the movie for those who haven't seen it, but suffice to say it had some very oozelike traits and would make an excellent divine-level challenge IMO. Of course, the Blood-Spirit being, if it's like a Crimson Death, would probably have some oozelike traits as well- the most obvious image for such a creature is a cloud of some sort, possibly blood motes, possibly something else. Perhaps it can hide itself by possessing bodies of other creatures, infusing itself into their bloodstreams? With monsters, the fit is largely in the presentation, I've usually found. :) Describe the entity with the right terms, and explain its existence the right way, and you can make just about anything seem perfectly plausible- even obvious. Look at weird monsters like the Gelatinous Cube, for example. Yes, that should be a given at this level of power I'd think. Every Abomination has such a power, and those are usually significantly less powerful than our proposed undead fusions are supposed to be, so most definitely they should have some sort of life-eating powers. After all, look at what the Akalich has! It eats the souls of [b]GODS[/b], for freak's sake. [/QUOTE]
